Decade’s worth of experience in $100MM+ of privately held industrial properties, development and land either owned or under management. Not investment advice.

Your daily reminder to buy the property and not the tenant.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@EllliotttB Yup.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@realEstateTrent Exactly. Learning this business from a book is like learning finance from ChatGPT.

Could not possibly be more ineffective.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@investing_law Being so nervous that I literally forgot the order of the calendar months in a meeting with tons of people so badly that I had to count it on my fingers.

I have two degrees.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@LPWhisperer Gotta admit, I’m interested.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@ClarenceWongCRE Exactly right, Clarence!

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

We always offer our brokerage service to tenants that wish to expand outside our industrial portfolio.

Why?

You wouldn’t believe how many window shop market prices for a month and come running back to us!

And, if they don’t come back, we still get paid!

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

Burning-hot take:

To all the hardworking industrial laborers I know and appreciate that I see working relentlessly for our industrial tenants,

getting lunch at McDonald’s 5-6x a week is probably worse for you than just not having lunch at all.

Also, it’s expensive over time.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@ClarenceWongCRE Exactly right, Clarence! And we love being there to fix it!

Industrial Owners: ⬇️🏭

if you’ve been managing your industrial property as if it was “passive income”, drop me a line; I might be an interested buyer!

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@realEstateTrent Absolutely cannot be taught.

My source: telling my wife over the past 5 years to stop standing in the way of people in the grocery isle. Self awareness = 0%.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@ClarenceWongCRE I do love some good ole labor efficiency!

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@Bricks_n_Sticks Skilled labor can usually be found where cheap labor lies. I don’t think this is the largest issue.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

When considering production output of an economy, to me it’s not so much about how much they produce of it, but rather how cheap they can produce it.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@realEstateTrent Wait… so are we to expect an announcement from you now?? 🤔

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@APompliano @sweatystartup More proof that not enough people pay enough attention to India. It’s a magical place.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

Note to sellers:

Your insanely low interest assumable debt does not make your insanely high price per foot justifiable.

In fact, it pretty much ruins almost anyone’s exit strategy from your overpriced box.

Thanks

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@LpWhisperer @Nallysmom Wow never thought of that, just going to do that from now on thanks bud

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

It’s 2024 and people are still landscaping their properties with ye ole bark dust. It needs constant replacement and manages to spread everywhere.

Will rubber mulch have a higher installation cost than bark dust? Yes.

Is rubber mulch less costly in the long run and sexier? Yes.

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@Nallysmom I swear to you that there’s higher quality versions!

[TheIndustrialGuy @Indus_Guy]

@Nallysmom Unsightly? You’re telling me the photo I attached looks bad??
